Product Reviews

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Overall a good product This mower works well and cuts good. I have one issue. The blade spindles in the deck have openings around where they attach to the deck. This allows grass clippings to go thru the openings and collect around the belt and pulleys, especially under the belt gaurds. Dont see a need for this and causes me to have to remove the gaurds and clean out the grass every time I mow. There needs to be a fix developed for this annoying problem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from None Great Mower - Bought March 7, 2018. Mower is great and had one issue. Recently mower would not pull itself so took in to Bishops Cub Cadet in Richmond, Ky. They repaired the tension belt in a timely manner. One other issue - left key on once and it ran the battery down plus adding some 30-40 hours to my hour meter. Hour meter needs better design. My opinion.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Dissatisfaction This is my second machine. Had the first one three years, traded it in for the exact same machine, however this one isn't as high quality as the first one. First off it is VERY HARD TO STEER. I greased it thinking maybe they forgot, but no help. It almost feels like it locks up sometimes. Takes both arms to move it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from good mower This is a good mower, wish the controls were a little closer to the front. Cuts well and steering is good with a little looseness in the steering wheel. Didn't receive the oil drain hose that was supposed to be on side of engine. Am happy at this point.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from RZTSX54 zero turn Cub Cadet My mower was delivered approx. One month ago. I like the design and performance except the steering wheel is very hard to turn when in the mowing position. However when the front wheels are lifted off the ground it becomes very easy to steer. All grease fittings have been greased already. Any ideas .

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Does the job I bought my new cub cadet 15 minutes after we closed on our new home in the mountains. I love mowing our yard with it. Glad I got a zero turn because it saves a lot of time. Only issue I am having is getting the app for my blue tooth to work.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice mowing machine I bought this a couple months ago. Nice easy machine to use. Mows wonderfully and makes the lawn look great. Would recommend

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Disappointed I bought this 5 years ago. It left a streak of grass right after I bought it, should have took it back to the dealer then, went ahead and put some other blades on it, my wife loved mowing with it. Had to start adding oil after a couple of years, again..should have took it back...needless to say, still liked the mower, but now the engine has locked up! Very upset this RZT54 now. Will not recommend, thought Kawaski engines are supposed to last longer than 109 hours... guess not!! Dissappointed
